Description
Il y a encore quelques années, Michaël Novo construisait des installations chimiques pour un bureau d’études. A la nuit tombée, sa cuisine avait les allures de laboratoire. Il expérimentait des recettes. En 2009, l’idée de créer une brasserie artisanale germe dans sa tête. Un an plus tard, le 1er avril 2010, la Brasserie du Mont Salève ouvre ses portes.

Sampled draft @ Borefts 2014. Thank you! Super bright purplish red with no head. Berliner lacto nose, light tart fruits; Taste is a bit muted, weak, strong Berliner lacto sour which I like less, sweet spices, fruit skins. Watery. Okay but feels like it should have been much more. Berliner is at least a more or less logical base style to use for a Radler.
